What's for Dinner? Rum Chata frosting

Now in the industry, you can usually either bake or cook. Yes, there is a difference. For me, the cooking is easy, but baking is my kryptonite.

These are some muffins that I love, and people seem to enjoy, so needless to say, they have followed me around.

This recipe is a little more difficult so I have broken it down to two days. Today is the frosting, and tomorrow the world…I mean muffins.

Do yourself a favor. Don’t taste the icing. Once you start, you can’t stop.
